<p>waitingforivy- sorry to hear about Harvard… you sound like a great girl with a bright future. Well rounded engineers with good people skills are needed in today’s world. I can also tell by your posts that you seem grounded, and both humble and realistic about where you may or may not be accepted. I think Northwestern is a great add to your list of schools. It makes perfect sense. It may be far but it will be easy access with Chicago being a major city. Keep us posted with what happens. I have a junior d also interested in engineering and business who is looking at many of the same schools as you. Wherever you end up, I’m sure you will be happy.</p>
